Be it known that. l, NATHAN J. GOODMAN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, heve invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lnundried- Shirt Holders, of whiclnthe following is a specification containing a full, clear, end eX- act description, reference being hed to the accompanying drawings, forming ey part hereof.

My invention relates to e holder for leundried shirts, the object or' my invention being to construct e simple, inexpensive device iarticulerly adapted for use in laun'dries and y shirt dealers, and which holder receives and mainte. is the shirt in a neat and convenient manner, and without the use of pins or bands, the use of which latter invinves considerable time and labor.

To the above pur ioses, my invention consists in certain novel lectures of construction andv arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claims, end illustrated in the ecccmpanying drawings, in whiche- Figure l is a perspective view of e, shirt holder of my improved constru n; 2 is a plan view of the holder, with e. shirt positioned therein; Fig. 3 is en enlarged. detail section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail section taken on the line 4-4 of ig. 2.

Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawings: l'des' mires the bese or bach oi the holder, which i prelerebly constructed of cardboard, or analogous material, and of such size as to receive a. shirt when the same is properly Jfolded citer being laundered.

becu'red in any suitable nienn er to the ends of the base or back l is e pain of flexible sec-- tions 2 and 3 of pepe r, or analogous material the inner ends of which are secured, in any suitable manner to one enother end to e transversely disposed strip l, of thin sheet Specification et' Letters Patent.

of the shirt is adapted to project when the device is in use.

In the use of my improved holder, the leundried shirt, properly folded, is positioned on the bese l, with the neck bend projecting through lthe opening 5, and the ends olE the strip Il are no w manually enga-ged, and said stri is now rotated in either direction, prefer-ab y 'toward the opening 5, which action winds portions of the sections 2 and 3 5:, upon said strip 4, thus taking up the fullness of said sections and causing the seine to be drawn tightlyv over the bosom of thoshirt. The extended ends of the strip 4 ere r bent downward eround the sido edges ol shirt end into position immediately bene the side edges ol the bese l, thus niaintoi is entirely inclosed, with the e. tion of the neck bend end while so inclosed prevented from becoming soiled while beii 5 pacled or delivered.

In some instances, only one ol tl 2 or 3 may be attached to the un and where this arrangement is prov 4 opposite section is engaged and heid on met-al strip et the time the same ri i bring the flexible sections against n bosom. v

ln some instances, if desired, n single 'ller-tible section may be used in place of vthe two llexible sections, and where the single secti is mede use of, the ductile strip is secu any suitable manner to the center thereof.

By the use of e holder of my improved construction, laundried garments, such as shir f and' the like, and various articles of inerchsnn dise may be quickly and conveniently packed and delivered to the patron in e neat end clean condition.
